Why  did  you  choose  this  degree  at  UIS?



UIS  provides  the  best  internship  opportunities  related  for  my  field.  I  like  that  UIS  has  the  option  to  pursue  a graduate  certificate  in  Geographic  Information  Systems,  which  is  highly  desired  in  the  environmental  field.



What  is  your  experience  like  as  a  graduate  student?</div>

Why  did  you  choose  this  degree  at  UIS?



After  earning  my  B.A.  in  Environmental  Studies  from  UIS  in  2019,  I  wanted  to  continue  to  explore  my  environmental  interests.  I  chose  this  concentration  because  it  offered  opportunities  to  build  and  apply  valuable  skills,  such  as  using  Geographic  Information  System  (GIS).
